Discover Colorado Springs Peterson Field
The scenery in Colorado Springs is so gorgeous that it should come as no surprise that “America the Beautiful” was written here.

Flights to Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS) shares its location with the Peterson Air Force Base. It’s the second busiest airport in the state after Denver, and it’s small and pleasant. The single terminal serves Alaska, Delta, American, Allegiant, and United Airlines.
There’s free Wi-Fi and the Airport Ambassador volunteer program means that there’s always a smiling, friendly person to answer any questions you might have about the airport or the area. In terms of ground transportation, there are many options, with several rental car, taxi, bus, and shuttle companies available (including some that connect directly to the ski resorts.)
Stuff to do in Colorado Springs
Hiking boots and a camera are de rigueur out here, when every step reveals another astonishing vista. Valleys, canyons, and mountains are the real draw. Climb the 8,000 feet to Pike’s Peak, which may be America’s most photogenic mountain, and you will be rewarded by beautiful views. If your legs aren’t up to the trek, never fear. The Pikes Peak Cog Railway has been carrying visitors up the incline since 1891, and it’s a thrilling trip for the whole family.
Colorado Springs is also home to the Air Force Academy, which is open to the public. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a training exercise. The thrill of fighter jet maneuvers never really wears off.
Advice to Tourists Visiting Colorado Springs
Summer is the most popular time to visit Colorado Springs, and it’s easy to see why: the lovely 70 to 80 degree days are perfect for spending outside. Spring can also be lovely. Snowmelt swells the rivers, making whitewater rafting even more exciting, and hotel prices are low. One exception is May, when the Air Force Academy Graduation is on. Skiing is popular in the winter, though relatively mild temperatures can make the snow unpredictable. Our favorite time here is actually September through early October. Temperatures hover between the 50s and 70s to keep you cool on all those hikes, and the autumn colors on the mountains have to be seen to be believed.
